“Casandra was so patient with my fur baby. She played with him and treated him just as I would’ve while I was away. I’m so grateful for her, it was such a pleasant experience. Thank you so much for all that you do. ❤️”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life. And a variety of other pets sporadically, like fish, hamsters guinnea pigs and others. I have also been blessed to have been a rescue foster and the reward of helping heal thier emotional and physical health and finding their Furever homes. I understand pets are family. I work a hybrid schedule so most availability is evenings and weekends. If you are super close by, I may be able to dropins during the week days. I am comfortable with all sizes ( we have 3 dogs 50-120 lbs) and do respect your training protocols. I always check the fences and gates before letting them out in the yard.
About: Our furry kids are our family! We had 2 akitas and our boy recently crossed the bridge at the age of 11,7. As an owner of an Akita breed I understand powerful breeds, their pray drive and the structured/disciplined walks. I also remain attentive and gentle with smaller breeds and senior fur kids and I will customize every outing to your dog personality and distance they are willing to walk. Our walks will be fun, with good exercise, belly rubs if needed and great energy overall. Your fur kid's new best friend here! Compassionate, energetic, loving. If you pup likes energetic walks, dedicated playtime, and a constant stream of affection, or slow walk-sniff, I would love to meet them. I treat every animal like family and ensure they get respect and all the love and attention they crave while you're away or on a walk. My Akita boy of 11,7 years justed passed away and I would like to share my time with other fur kids. I trained him myself and have experience with dogs from puppy to senior season of life. I have a fenced yard and a lot of room to run if needed. I have a friendly senior akita and she wouldn't mind a company if needed. If I come to your house to check on your pup, I will follow the routine you prefer. On walks - it's all about your fur kid - pace, speed, length, quality of walk.
About: I feel like I've always taken care of dogs. My family had dogs growing up. I have a senior dog and a four year-old dog. I have experience taking care of both senior dogs and younger dogs. My daughter is trying to raise money for a Washington DC trip. We would love to take care of your dog. I am not available on the weekends. I am available Tuesday through Friday for dog walk's, drop in visits or boarding opportunities. We would love to take care of your baby! I have a backyard that is fenced in. We have wood floors and a doggie door. I will play with them and take them for walks.
“Jacqueline is always so amazing with our dogs and I love that we have someone we can trust with our animals and our home when we’re not able to be home for them. She sends the best photos and our dogs love her! She’s the BEST!”
About: I grew up with a Pomeranian who lived until she was 16. In college, I decided to adopt a Spook (black cat) at the age of 2 months old and has been the best decision. He is my best friend and I can’t imagine life without him! Currently I work a 8AM-5PM job so I am most available at any time on the weekends. I am also free in the evenings during the week for visits! I am open to any preferences that the owner has in order to take care of their pet/pets the way that they do. Additionally, I am open to any type of dog or cat to pet sit!
“Elizabeth was a godsend on short notice to tend to our senior dogs with special care. We really appreciate the detailed report on our pets and we can tell she has a warm heart for animals. Thank you very much!”
About: I’ve been taking care and nurturing pets for 3+ years! This includes seniors, reactive dogs, cats and puppies of all sizes. Whether it’s at your home, walks, or check ins, I’ll be there! I have 5 dogs at home of all ages and sizes. It’s an everyday duty for me to take them on walks, feed them the correct meals, and constant potty breaks, so it isn’t something unusual for me! I treat my clients home as if I am there for their babies primarily. As a guest, I’ll continue to maintain the house by keeping it clean inside & out, dishes, laundry, lawn etc, while always keeping the pets entertained.
“Valerie was a great sitter for my two cats. She was communicative throughout the entire time she was pet sitting, showed up on time, and sent great pictures and updates! I highly recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Bree to watch your dogs. My dogs were taken on multiple walks and were all tuckered out by the time I got home. I received very detailed updates for every drop in and several photos as well. Bree is awesome!”
About: Hello! Fur babies are the best! I’m here to help you with them as your days get busy with kids, activities, work, pick ups and drop offs. Need someone to let them out during the day? During that 4-7pm timeline when you are soccer mom/dad, shuffling kids, picking up dinner? That’s me! Heading out on a well deserved vacation, allow me to make sure your fur babies are cared for and loved on while you are relaxing on the beach. I’m very reliable, loving, and great with doggies. I am a available in the am before 8 AM and anytime after 4 PM during the week and anytime on the weekends and holidays. My 2 doodles are my world. We play, snuggle, go for car rides, hit the parks, and sleep when it’s all done! I love all things dog.
About: I’m a pet mama to an active Border Collie, and a super chill cat, so I know exactly how to cater to different personalities. Regardless of whether your pet needs a good workout session, or quiet cuddles, I’ve got you covered! Growing up around animals naturally led to years of caring for the pets of family, friends, and neighbors. I'm completely comfortable with specialized care, from strict routines to administering medications if your pet isn't feeling their best. Leaving your fur babies with someone new can be stressful, I know. It’s very important to me that they feel safe, loved, and at ease. I will be patient and compassionate to your pet as I would with mine. My schedule is flexible. I’m happy to hang out with your pet for walks, play time, drop-ins, or last minute requests. Reach out and connect with me, I’m always glad to help out. I understand how important it is for your pet to feel secure in their space. When I visit, I keep things calm and respectful, never rushing or overwhelming your pet. I follow instructions carefully, use positive reinforcement, and ensure your pet is comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I always treat your home and pet's routine with the same respect I’d want for my own.
“Debbie did a great job taking care of my guys! She was punctual, patient and kind. She communicated with me during each of the drop in visits and sent photos which made me comfortable while I was away. I will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve always had cats and dogs (and 9 other species) in my home, and I truly love all the fur babies in the whole wide world! Your pets are family, and I treat them that way. I’m attentive, organized, and detail-oriented (from my teaching background). I will provide expert, dependable care so your pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, giving meds, and helping pets who have special needs. I’m also big on communication (and sending pictures) so you have peace of mind while you’re away. My home is fun, loving, and full of attention. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! My wife is a teacher so she is always home during the evenings and weekends. I work from home and enjoy having the extra company around the house. I have a fenced back yard and a big playful bernadoodle that loves to have friends over. (My dog can be relocated if your animals do not get along with others.) We live around a lake with plenty of great walking trails and big fenced in properties, lots of places to get good fresh air around us. Typically I take my dog somewhere to play of walk in the mornings, relax and get some work done until the afternoon, then try to get another walk in. We have lots of toys to play with and do lick mats and scent training games if weather is yucky.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Little Elm
Rachel has been a lifesaver for us. She's looked after our 18-year-old cat Gretchen many times over the past year, and Gretchen can be pretty cantankerous. Rachel handles her with so much patience and care that Gretchen is always happy and healthy when we get home. Knowing Gretchen is in such good hands takes so much stress out of traveling. We recommend Rachel to anyone, and we'll keep booking her every time we leave town.
Katherine is hands down the best! She took such amazing care of Pumpkin and kept me looped in with the cutest photo updates every day. It’s a huge relief to find someone Pumpkin is so comfortable with. Professional, sweet, and totally reliable. I’ll definitely be asking her to watch Pumpkin again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Little Elm is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,761 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Little Elm. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Little Elm. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
